Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 226

Keith held his tongue.

"Lucy needs to be as tough as you when she gets back."

Mentioning his daughter, from whom he had been separated for over twenty years, Nathan's eyes filled with longing.

If he could, he would rather have Lucy stay in Pinehurst, living a carefree life.

But once she's back, there will be more issues to face. She grew up in a sheltered environment, was naive to the cunning of people, and might be easily manipulated.

Now, the Blue family had located Lucy, and she had been in danger before. If they didn't bring her back, her safety can't be guaranteed.

As Nathan said, since it's impossible to keep hiding, they must face it head-on.

Life was brutal. In this world, there's no such thing as fairness; the strong ruled the roost.

"Let's fetch Lucy later, then. Let her enjoy a few more happy days in Pinehurst. With Janice by her side, there shouldn't be any issues."

Keith didn't want Lucy to return too soon because he was tired. He was constantly striving, fearing that if he relaxed for a moment, he could lose everything.

Nathan was silent for a while, then said, "Is she safe there right now? If she's really safe, then we can bring them back later. It would be even better if Janice could fully recover before she comes back." "She's safe; the Anderson family can protect her."

Keith had confidence in Stefan, believing in his abilities.

"Could you give Lucy a call now? I want to talk to her, preferably via video call."

Keith knew Nathan must have pictures of Lucy, but he still took out his phone and made a video call.
